Delhi's Tina Dabi has topped this year's Union Public Service Commission exam, results of which were announced today.

Sharing her feelings, UPSC topper Dabi said it was her first attempt at the civil services exams.

"It feels incredible. I still can't believe that I have topped the exam. It was my first attempt. I am excited and waiting for a new learning experience," Dabi, a Political Science graduate said.

"Hard work is the key to success," the 22-year-old said when asked about her success mantra.

For second topper Athar Aamir Ul Shafi Khan, who hails from Anantnag in Kashmir, it was his second attempt. In his first attempt in 2014, he had got a lower rank and could not make it to the top administrative jobs and had to be content with the Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS).
